Join our community of CRU Friends!
For just $1 a day, you can help tell thousands of kids about Jesus.
With fewer and fewer Aussie kids attending church or youth group, we need your help to share Jesus with a new generation on camps and in schools. We know that 100,000+ kids are reached through CRU programs every year – and you can help grow this number by becoming a CRU Friend!
Monthly giving is vital to ensure CRU camps and school programs are set up for long-term impact. Your regular gift means we can plan for the future with the certainty of knowing we have funding to continue transforming young lives. Not only is monthly giving a convenient option for you, it is also one of the most cost-effective ways you can help. Regular ongoing gifts minimise administration costs – so more of your generous donation goes directly to reaching thousands of young people who are searching for truth, purpose, and hope.
“I was never a believer in God, but this camp changed my mind. I’m really excited that I’m a Christian now and I can’t wait to go home and tell my parents.”

“Having been a camper and leader on CRU Camps in the past, I have seen first-hand how effective CRU’s ministry is to young people. Camps provide such an important avenue for kids to ask questions and learn about God. That’s why I’ve been a regular financial supporter of CRU for many years. Sometimes contact with CRU is the only exposure these kids will have to the gospel, so it is vital that CRU is supported.”
